A Society Mans Career.
From T'oicn Topics.


1t will doubtless interest a good many
people to learn that Gardner Rowland, who
vanished so completely from the social
seaman on a man-o'war. Among the officers
of the ship are many who knew Mr.. How
land in his palmy days when he was as
much of favorite in Newport as in New
York, and possibly, at that time were re-
cipients of his hospitality; but the discipline
OF the navy fOrbids them to treat him in
any way differently from the other sailors.
With the best wishes to do more, the most
they can do is to lend him a book now and
then or show him some small favor of that
kind. They make use Of his artistic ability
and give him some cOngenial work in the
way of painting when any dinners or
lmncheons are to be given, from which the
ladies usually carry away knick-knacks
decorated by this genius of the forecastle.
Recently a man who knew him well Ill his
Newport days went aboard ship to break
fast with the Captain and his officers The
first person that his eye lighted upon when
he set foot upon deck was Gardner, How
land. His impulse was to grasp his hand
and TO express his pleasure at seeing him
again, but remembering that he was the
guest of the commanding officer, who might
be placed in a most awkward position by
such an action, he pretended not to see the
man and fastened into the Captains cabin.
He said that he was completely taken aback
by seeing Rowland in such a position, for
the last time he had seen him had been on
his coach at Newport. The ship is now on
the high seas bound for a distant foreign
mort

AN INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
Will Savannah Have Base Ball Next
Season?

Sporting Editor Morning Ne,cs: As
base ball in Savannah seems at low ebb,
would it not be an excellent idea to devise
some means to reinstate the great national
game, so much admired by all, for next
yeari woqld suggest as the best way to
bring this hfbout, the formation of an in
terState league, comprising the principal
cities of South Carolina, Florida and
Georgia, all clubs to be composed of home
talent, excepting, possibly, the batteries; no
one allowed to become a member of any
club who has not been a resident of the city
which the club represents for at least two
years.
Let one half of the franchise money be
awarded the club winning the pennant, the
balance to be refunded to each club remain
ing in the league until the close of the sea-
SON. In forming a league in this manner
am confident it would meet with success.
1t would also give quite number of young
men of good base ball talent employment
during the dull summer months, and would
renew the great interest taken in the old
Brown-Dixie games. In forming the league
l would suggest the following cities: At
lanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Savan-
nah, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Charles
ton. Many people should be delighted to
see this matter put in proper shape, and
now is the time to begin, so there viii be no
difficulty in selecting a good club for next
season. A very important item in forming
the association here is to put the stock with
in the reach of everybody. Let a meeting
be called at once.

Never mind where | got the pistol, he

be let alone that he was not piled with ques-
tions. Lieut. Green told him to get ready
to go to jail, and he replied, ''All right, sill"

He is not at all concerned about the af-
fair, and takes it as coolly as if he had shot

After the Coroner's jury had been out
about fifteen minutes, they came to a YER
dict that the deceased came to his death
from the effects of a gunshot wound from a
pistol in the hands of William Edward
Wingard, and they considered it premedi-
tated murder. The verdict was signed by
five Of the six jurors, E. c. Wilson, a
colored man, refusing to consent. He con-
sidered it Justifiable homicide.
WHO THOMAS WAS.
Edward Thomas was born in Augusta
about 35 years ago and lived there until he
had grown up and learned his trade. He
then moved to Beaufort and afterward to
Savannah. He was a mechanic, and an ex-
cellent one. He has worked at a number of
machine shops in this city and was always &C
counted an excellent workman. He had been
engaged at the MORNING News office adj
lusting some machinery for the last three
weeks, and had Just completed the work
He had another job awaiting him, and had
bought speciaI tools that he re-, uired
His fondness for liquor was well known TO
his friends; still he was liked and was gen
orally considered good fellow.

KNIGHTS IN NEED OF MONEY.
Another Secret Circular from tn
General Executive Board.

Another Secret Circular from the
General Executive Board.
The Knights of Labor are discussing an
other secret circular which was sent out last
week from general headquarters i'll Phila-
delphia requiring the payment, within TWEEN
ty days, of the special defense assessment of
25c upon each member on penalty of sus-
pension from the order. The demand over
the signature of the General Secretary is as
follows:
NOV. 10, 1886, the General Executive
Board ordered special defense assessment
of 25c. upon the members of the order. Ten
cents per member were to be paid on the
number shown on the report for the quarter
ending Oct. l, 1856, and not later than Dec
20, 1856. Ten cents per member on the
number shown on the report for the quarter
ending Jan. l, 1887, to be paid not later
than Jan. 20, 1887. Five cents per mem
Der on the number shown by the report of
the quarter ending Jan. l, 1887. to be paid
not later than Feb. 90 1857. Those Local
Assemblies which desired had the privilege
of paying the entire 25c. per member on the
basis of its report for the quarter ending
Oct /, 1886 = Unless the amount
due is received by me not later than twenty
days from the date of this notice, your
Local Assembly will be suspended for non
payment thereof"
There is a feeling among a large number
of Knights that the assessment was levied
without constitutional authority. When
the secret circular exacting the Csc. tax was
issued last November there was a great deal
of dissatisfaction expressed concerning it.
Now that an unqualified demand has been
promulgated for its payment the dissatisfac-
ton is even more pronounced. The circular
win be acted upon by the local assemblies
viii accede to the demand for the payment
of the tax remains to be seen.

TREMENDOUS METEOR.
The Dreadful Missile Estimated to
Weigh at Least Two Tons.

WGlgh at Least Two TOnS.
A dispatch from Evansville. Ind, to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: AT an early
hour this morning an enormous meteoric
stone dashed into the earth near this city.
The point where it fell is about nine miles
from the city, in wooded tract near the
vinege of St. Joseph, this county. 1t was
little past Z o'clock when the residents OF
that vicinity heard q sharp, whip-like crack,
simultaneous with a slight earth tremor.
1t was at once concluded by all that it
was another earthquake, with which this
section of the country has been repeatedly
visited during the past several months. u
was two hours afteward before the real
truth was discovered through the report of
a young farmer who had found a large tree
mutilated as though it had been struck by
lightning, and d hole of enormous dlInen-
sions made near its foot Several fragments
of sulphur-smelling stone were scattered
about the mysterious Cri6ce, and strong
sulphurous smell seemed to permeate the
whole atmosphere Of the place.
1t was soon determined conclusively that
it was an aerolite of great dimensions and
had buried itself in the earth to the depth Of
twelve or fifteen feet. The projectile had
evidently descended in a slightly slanting
course, judging from where it had struck
the tree and the point where it had Embedded
Itself IN the ground. Several fragments OF
aerolite Were gathered and Will be brought
to this city, where they will be examined by
some of our local amateur biologists Efforts
to reach the stone were unavailing without
a vast amount of labor. 1t is evidently one
of the largest aerolites that ever penetrated
our atmosphere, and cannot weigh less than
two tons. The sharp report heard at the
time it fell was no doubt conclusion or air
and its contact with the tree.
Efforts will be made at once to secure the
aerolite, and the pieces already gathered
will be sent to the Smithsonian Institute.
declared to be an admixture of obsidian and
tractyte, of dull grayish and dark colors.
1t is a wonder that even these particles were
broken off after the aerolite had resisted the
great force which had propelled 1t from its
home in the spheres and holding itself intact
until reaching our planet
